Changing Alien Vision Colors?

Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the Alien vision?
I really like playing with Alien and since the vision offers such a massive advantage I have it on 90% of the time.
After a few games my eyes are aching and I've now grown to <b>hate</b> the Green and Orange/Yellow colours.

Would it be easy to modify the colours and would it be considered cheating? I'd still like to be able to play on official servers!

Here is the normal Alien vision (which I now loathe)

And these are some mock-ups:

Blue hue and keeping the Orange/Yellow theme

Black and Orange/Yellow theme

Natural Selection 2 is a beautiful game, but since I'm spending most of my time in the Green/Orange vision, please allow me to modify it!

    A color swapper would be nice.

    Here are some threads about this from the modding forum that will give you an idea how to do this:

    A modified alien vision will only work on servers that do not consistency check those shader files however and I do believe most do that by default.

    It would be cool to see a config option with a few presets that swaps the colors. Make a community contest of it or something.
